La haine possède une histoire : ses expressions, ses modalités, ses logiques, ses objets et ses effets ne sont ni identiques ni immuables. Cet essai replace cette passion funeste dans son époque et cerne ses raisons évoquées par les contemporains. Si la haine est à sa manière une forme de rationalité permettant de se mouvoir dans l'univers social, elle est une « figure du pensable » et un ressort psychologique déterminant, donnant la possibilité de comprendre ce qui anime les individus et les sociétés.

The aim of this publication is to discuss the revolutions phenomenon and its multi-faceted development on a large geographic scale and a long-term perspective. The 25 essays included concern studies from territorial legislation and administration studies to political debates; from conspiracy strategies to economic, cultural, social, religious, communicational and artistic matters. Such papers are to be considered an effort to synthetize the most recent historiographic perspectives, result of wide and inclusive academic discussions about the great turmoil of 1789-1849. The purpose is to provide new contributions to the current international debate on the revolutionary and counterrevolutionary movements of that period. Il volume si propone di tematizzare il fenomeno rivoluzionario su una vasta scala geografica, in una prospettiva di lunga durata e nella sua pluralità di sviluppi. Il ventaglio degli oggetti di studio dei venticinque saggi raccolti va dalla legislazione e amministrazione territoriale alle discussioni politiche, dalle strategie cospirative alle questioni di carattere economico, culturale, sociale, religioso, comunicativo e artistico. Frutto di un confronto ampio e inclusivo intorno al grande subbuglio degli anni 1789-1849, la miscellanea ha costituito per le autrici e per gli autori un’occasione per fare il punto sui più recenti indirizzi storiografici, nel tentativo di offrire un ulteriore contributo al vivace dibattito internazionale sulle rivoluzioni e le contro-rivoluzioni di quel movimentato periodo

The East India Company at Home, 1757–1857 explores how empire in Asia shaped British country houses, their interiors and the lives of their residents. It includes chapters from researchers based in a wide range of settings such as archives and libraries, museums, heritage organisations, the community of family historians and universities. It moves beyond conventional academic narratives and makes an important contribution to ongoing debates around how empire impacted Britain. The volume focuses on the propertied families of the East India Company at the height of Company rule. From the Battle of Plassey in 1757 to the outbreak of the Indian Uprising in 1857, objects, people and wealth flowed to Britain from Asia. As men in Company service increasingly shifted their activities from trade to military expansion and political administration, a new population of civil servants, army officers, surveyors and surgeons journeyed to India to make their fortunes. These Company men and their families acquired wealth, tastes and identities in India, which travelled home with them to Britain. Their stories, the biographies of their Indian possessions and the narratives of the stately homes in Britain that came to house them, frame our explorations of imperial culture and its British legacies.

The European Union is a unique institutional construction in history. Built and enlarged slowly and peacefully, with the aim of reconciling sworn enemies after two terrible wars by means of an economic alliance designed to create a lasting human understanding, it is today much more than a simple free trade area. What about European culture? How does it relate to the continent's economic and political integration projects? Constantly under development, constantly questioned, even contested, European culture is the subject of the studies gathered in this volume. L’Union européenne est un édifice institutionnel unique dans l’histoire. Construite et élargie lentement et pacifiquement, dans le but de réconcilier après deux guerres terribles des ennemis jurés par un rapprochement économique destiné à fonder durablement une entente humaine, elle représente aujourd’hui bien plus qu’une simple zone de libre-échange. Et la culture européenne ? Comment s’articule-t-elle aux projets d’intégration économique et politique du continent ? Constamment en construction, sans cesse interrogée, voire contestée, la culture européenne fait l’objet des études réunies dans ce volume.
